It says a Mike Fortin designed package. Hmmm. I thought Mike left Randall? Did he do some after work with them to get this 50w produced, or is Randall tagging onto his prior design of the 100w Satan? Interesting.
Mike designed this 50W awhile ago. Ola has had the 50W for over a year. It’s been in the background of several of his vids.
I had the 100W and it was a killer amp. Very well built. Very, very tight and modern mid boosted. Pretty much what you expect... but the feel is different from most of the competition. Cool feature set too.
I honestly had thought Randall Amps had gone out of business completely. Surprised to see this.
How would you compare the feel to your MTL? I have a feeling that what I'm after amp wise is nearly sold state feeling in nature. I want the breath and dimensionality that's usually found with tubes though. BTW, have you ever played any of the AMT Stone Head amps?
Head to head I like the MTL better. The Satan is really tight, dry, mid-boosted, not a lot of lowend. Not as chuggable as many might think. Not the heavy Recto/Uber lows many might expect.
The MTL has a more classic feel and response to it, while still being super tight and articulate and more of the classic Marshall crunch factor to it.
The Satan is pretty unusual and unique. Definite try before you buy sort of amp.
